When I saw that box sitting in the hotshoe, my first thought was that it had a pair of cellphone-type camera modules looking down at the shutter-speed dial and lens aperture ring. (A side-benefit...

Hipsters probably think "flash powder" is some new slang for some powder that goes up the nose.

The Sigma 90mm "i" lens (90mm f/2.8 DG DN "Contemporary") not being included is particularly disappointing and surprising -- lateral CA reported greatly accelerating towards the corners should make...

Well, the joy was short-lived. While, on the A7R IV, the Sigma "i"-series 35mm, 45mm, and 65mm are supported (and the 65mm support is of interest), it appears that the 24mm and 90mm lenses are not...

I had been thinking of trying DxO in the past, but last time I checked, their support for the relevant Sigma lenses for my A7R IV was weak, so I held off. (My Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM is great, but in...

I think this kind of product "development" is called "grasping at straws".

Given that Europe has stronger privacy laws than the U.S., is Adobe also doing this in Europe, and is it enabled by default there?

At current prices, the popularity of color film puzzles me. Yeah, I started doing photography in the 1960s, and, at least for quality still photography, film was the only practical option then and...

No guidance on which camera and lens to use to capture all the abuse of workers that occurred in the preparation for this event? Oh, wait, that was hidden, behind the scenes, so something discreet...

Sure, better than nothing. But standardization has several advantages:

As has long been joked, the modus operandi of modern "entrepreneurs" (most notably in Silicon Valley, but plenty of other places too) is "fake it til you make it". Never mind...
